III. CommtssIcntrs R-luse t. Count IN,
Votes IN the Locr.I Option Election,

Tha CommtssicnFrs REUSE to COUNT tho
Votes In the Locr.I Option Election.
Special to the Gazette
MEXIA, TEX j., Sept. 17.-Yesterdey be-
ing the day Appointed by the Commission
ers' court ct Groesbeeck forcountirg the
vote on local option in the Groesbeeck
precinct end city of Mexia, the election
having been held on the 81 inst, a large
crowd OF both ants and pros assembled
ct the courthouse to see the result, il
having been .rumored that the Commits
sioners woul'd refuse to count the vote
for the reason that the order directing
the election to be held was void. The
Commissioners and County Judge were
all present, end on Invitation, Bureau &
Kinkaid, at orneys CT Groesbeeck made
an argun lent insisting that the
court had NO discretion and were round
under the la,w to count the vote whether
they believed the election valid or not.
Thomas j. Gibson, attorney OF Mexis
argued to the contrary. The question
was put ancl by vote OF 8 to l the Com.
missioners decided the election void and
refused to count the vote, and declare the
result. TIE questions voted on were as
to whether under The acts of tie last Legis-
lAture an election be ordered before the
expiration of two years from the last
election held in the county for the same
purpose, an election having been held in
August 1856, and also as to whether,
when thel whole county adopted local
option, il could be repealed
by s subdivision CT the
county in less than two years from the
time lhet election was ordered. The
Commissioners court had & letter from
Attorney, General Hogg, giving it as his
opinion t nat al election would be legal!
Since that time, however, he has sent the
County Judge second opinion, in which
he state thst the first ruling was basty
aud WRONG, and that up oD!thorough inves-
dsslon$ he believes the election illegal
and VOID.

The Night Assassination Horror Breaks
Out in Winston

The Night Assassination Horror Breaks
Out in Winston.
The people of Winston have been thrown
into thorough state of alarm by the terri
BILE crime perpetrated in our midst on last
Monday night. While Mr.. Robert Craw-
ford, salesman at Mr.. r. r. Crawford's store,
was going home, near the hour of 1890
o'clock, he was assailed from behind by an
unknown william who struck him with some
heavy weapon on the back of the head,
knocking him stunned to the ground. Mr.
Crawford was not knocked entirely uncon-
scious, and had sufficient presence of mind to
make motion as if drawing pistol,
which scared his assailant SO that he cleared
himself. He had advanced the second time
to complete his bloody work, his intent evil
IDENTIFY being robbery. Mr.. Crawford had
no weapon whatever about him.
The blow bears every appearance Of hav
ing been made with stick, but rock was
found near the scene of the affair, bearing
some evidence of having been the weapon
used. Our Reporter saw the wound few
minutes after the occurrence, and a cash two
inches long or more was laid open, penetrat-
ing entirely to the SKULL though DIR. Gray
affirmed no fracture was present. The
head was badly bruised and swollen.
Mr.. Crawford is reported as doing very
well, and will probably recover shortly.
Mr.. John Marony, of the police force,
reports that a rock was thrown at him
Tuesday night while passing the Methodist
church. These occurrences speak warm
ingly on the subject of proper lighting our
streets.
The thing for the people of Winston to do
now is to employ detective, and hound
down these cattle as the people of Green's
boro have done. The Williams who assaulted
Mr.. Crump have been overtaken, and the
crime fastened on them. Let Winston do
likewise.
